Personal Law

Thomas DeRenzy Harman, the man who began our business back in 1888, was the son of Richard Harman, who arrived on one of the First Four Ships to reach our shores. The hard-working, forward-thinking mindset of those early settlers established the tone for the way our firm would evolve over the years, and we remain as committed today as we were in 1888 to going above and beyond to help Cantabrians achieve their goals.

While our team, our knowledge, and our capabilities have grown considerably since the late 19th Century, our passion for working alongside individuals from all walks of life remains the same. At the heart of this is a desire to ensure that quality legal services are available and accessible to everyone, and we strive to deliver advice and direction in a manner which is easily understood and which allows our clients to make informed decisions.
